Mission Statement
Computer Education Techniques develops
courseware and training aids for use in SYS-ED instructor-led
and distance-learning courses. The services and courseware products have been developed in response to specific operational objectives and training requirements of
Fortune 1000 companies, government municipalities, healthcare providers,
consulting, software companies, and midsized and small businesses. The full
complement of
web-based and
classroom technologies will be used to provide effective knowledge transfer.
The long-term objective is to apply the classic principles of learning and knowledge transfer in order to meet the standards of the New York State Department of Education. The initial curriculum to be submitted are in areas where CETi has a longstanding and demonstrated expertise:
Technology Driven IT Training
Courseware and training aids are a central
component of CETi training services.
Content, examples, diagrams, and workshops are updated to address the errors and new releases in the source software company documentation. SYS-ED websites serve as a distribution center for clients to review courseware, common questions, and assess their proficiency of the content prior to enrolling in a course.
Courseware has been developed by technologist entrepreneurs, consultants out in the field, professional text book authors, and the collective efforts of CETi staff. Our courseware library spans the onset of modern data processing. CETi courseware is highly regarded, especially in mainframe programming skills and legacy programming languages, where there is a scarcity of up to date text books.
Experience and
Expertise
Computer Education Techniques, was
formed in 1982 and purchased SYS-ED, the training services division of
Integrated Computer Software. CETi’s collective experience with software engineering predates 1982. SYS-ED’s founder, Robert Blumfeld, did
pioneering work with the initial releases of
CICS, IBM' s mainstay systems
software, at the New York Times and his association with Ed Yourdon, a contemporary, resulted in a cross fertilization with the new techniques in structured
analysis and design. In the 1970's, Mr. Blumfeld played a major role in the development
and delivery of
instructor-led training at On-line Software International and was co-founder
of Verhoef Information Packages. Several CETi system consultants were involved in
first generation coding and debugging of programming languages (COBOL,
Assembler Language, PL/1, FORTRAN, and RPG) and IBM systems software (VSAM,
IMS,
CICS,
and DB2). We have used each
successive generation of software technology. And equally as important,
categorized and developed content for effective knowledge
transfer. Few software or consulting companies have the library of sample programs,
exercises, and training
aids that we do.
Text Book Authors
Computer Education Techniques has relationships with leading IT textbook
authors and
publishers.

The by product of CETi work with these authors is typically derivative courseware and training aids which reflect the evolving nature of the software industry: co-existence and interoperability with established and new generations of software, updates, fixes and patches for software, and software as a service. The challenge is transforming this courseware library into web-enabled distance- and e-learning services which help people learn in technology enabled training environments. Content will be in a digital format which is programmatically updated and distributed.
David Silverberg, a Director at SYS-ED, authored an acclaimed DB2 Systems Performance book as part of the Jay Ranade IBM Series, McGraw-Hill, Inc.
David Shapiro, a Director at SYS-ED, has developed and edited courseware for SYS-ED courses in conjunction with the following authors:
Each also selectively accepts and develops courseware projects on their own.
Open
Source Software
Computer Education Techniques staff has
first generation experience with open source operating systems, web servers, and
development languages. We are recognized experts with XML, UNIX-variants, web
servers, Java, and development tools.
CETi courses teach industry
standard content and consultancy derived techniques for:
Equally as important, we have specialized consultancy expertise with hybrid internetworking and development platforms.
Industry experts agree that the documentation available for supporting open source software does not provide an equivalent degree of clarity and completeness in relation to its proprietary counterparts. CETi courseware has been designed to address this shortcoming and provide value-added quality.
Software Companies
Computer Education Techniques avails itself of the software and related
documentation available in the public domain. We
analyze and interpret this information
and develop our own examples and workshops. Based upon requests from our client
base, we develop courseware and training aids.
CETi has been called upon by major software companies to train both their clients and software engineers and software developers on their own software!
Certification
Standards
Computer Education Techniques
keeps abreast of the latest releases of
software and requires its consultants to pass vendor certification examinations.
CETi Consulting
Computer Education Techniques
selectively accepts consulting assignments. This affords us the opportunity to use the software and
analyze and benchmark the assumptions
in the source vendor documentation. Over the years, we have developed
expertise in a variety of industries and applications. Each assignment typically
uncovers errors
and omissions in the vendor documentation and new and better ways of
designing, developing, and coding systems.
Consulting
Companies
Computer Education Techniques provides
educational consultancy and instructor placement services for consulting
companies and
technology partners.
